I want to know how the heck they choose who to send the messages to.

Because it always seems like multiple people get one, but sometimes these people haven't even been active for days.

Yes, that is just sad. Really, why would you do it in the first place? And Chrisco, it is good you will not send Sweetheart Scam. That is one of the only ways to get an immediate ban on WPC.

And these kind of messages are just crazy - why would someone even think of sending that kind of message?

Yep, I respect those rules and hopefully never will break any of them.

It must have took forever to write all of those rules!

Well, when you email them back, they send one to you, containing (most likely) a virus!

If you all understood what a scam is or a sweetheart scam is, and what to do about them, there would not be 17 replies on a banned person's profile. To get a better understanding how sweetheart scams work, look here.

PS - sweetheart scams are not geared to give you a virus..they are seeking out lonely people to get their money.
